Example: invoice PDF
Use the sample data below to understand how to get from a document (= template, here: DOCX in Microsoft Word) to a rendered report (= result, PDF in Ninox).
Understand the example
Create a database from the
NINOXbackup file from the sample data below.Once the database is created, open the Invoice table, click any record, then click the Print icon.
View the 2 layouts:
Open Microsoft Word or another text editor to view the MS Word template A (Option A) and B (Option B).
Depending on which template is used, you either work with or without a custom script.
In Ninox, select a layout, then click the Print icon. Select This record to download the final result, a rendered
PDFreport.Both MS Word templates A and B result in the same report. All roads lead to Rome. 😉
Note: For both layouts, we use a global function to correctly display currency.
